"Why is STOCKED so expensive?"
Fair question. People think they can buy the ingredients and make it at home for less.
Maybe you could. But not with zero shopping, zero prep, and dinner on the table in under 10 minutes. Eight packs is 64 Blocks: using 3 Blocks that's 21 meals at £3.21 per meal, chef-made and award-winning. Add 15p of pasta and the full plate is £3.36. Less than £3.50.
